Per Esquire, Anthony Templet is currently serving "five years of supervised probation with credit for time served" that he received in 2021 after pleading no contest. At first, Anthony was charged with second-degree murder but that was dropped down to manslaughter once it was ascertained that he murdered his father in self-defense.
His sentencing was contingent upon Anthony earning his GED, attending counseling, and either finding a full-time job or enrolling in school full-time. Anthony's record will be expunged if he completes all of these requirements.
"When I saw this injustice, I said, ‘Absolutely, no way should this kid be in jail’," Anthony's lawyer told Esquire. "Well, [supervised probation is] the outcome we have. It may not be the thing we have hoped but this is an imperfect system. We try to find the best possible justice and I think we got that today."
